    Hi please we have a few questions on what happens next in terms of migrating to Azure DevOps –
    1. What, if any, build definition policies/settings do we need to implement to migrate from 2020.1.1 to ADO Services and keep our builds for our projects in the same place they are now?

    1. Are there any specific retention settings we need to set/update once we go to ADO Services?
